After the commercials, QBBC is attempting to tell the questioning cops that she did, indeed, see Claire and some guy and flying and death and swooping, and the cops are all like, "Bitch, you be drunk." The rest of the cheerleading squad watches QBBC dig her own grave. As QBBC is asserting that she saw Claire dead, the dead person in question walks up, healthy as a horse. That's when another cop walks up with the liquor bottle and everyone goes, "See? I told you bitch be drunk."
Old Japan. The Tedious Trio hides behind a bush that wouldn't hide a camouflaged monkey, and try to put together their genius plan to overtake the camp. Before they head into battle, Kensei turns to Hiro, saying that he's given Kensei purpose and made him a better man. Yeah, don't hang onto that "better man" crap too long, dude. Hiro's got a yen for your girl. Kensei moves into position and taps the tent guard on the shoulder. "Pardon me, but you wouldn't happen to have a sword smith in there, would you?" Hee. The guard runs him through with his sword, of course, but he's surprised to see that Kensei recovers remarkably well from deathly stabbings. Kensei removes the sword from his abdomen and smacks the guard in the face with the hilt: "That was easy enough." Hee. I hate this plot, but I love David Anders.
Inside the tent, Yaeko's father kneels on the ground, bound in chains. Yaeko enters with her boys, and immediately goes to her father. Introductions are made, and Yaeko tells Kensei to cut her father's chains. But Papa Yaeko stops Kensei before he can make the first cut, saying that he has to stay because White Beard has built an arsenal of guns, and Yaeko's father must destroy them, because he told White Beard how to make them. If he doesn't help White Beard, Yaeko will die. White Beard plans to overthrow the Emperor, and Hiro observes that if guns are used to take out the Emperor, it would end the way of the Samurai and the sword. "You must stop them," Hiro tells Kensei. "Destroy all the guns! That is how you save Japan!" "Very well," says Kensei with a smile. Papa Yaeko agrees to this plan, and Kensei cuts his chains so they can run out of the tent in broad daylight. Do NONE of these Heroes know how to run a clandestine operation? GOD.
Back to Molly and Mohinder. Molly's still out cold. Mohinder kisses her on the forehead. Tobby appears and asks for a word with Mohinder. They step outside the room, where Tobby apologizes for asking Mohinder to do the vaccine injection on Monica. He excuses his behavior by saying that he's dealing with someone right now who could be even more dangerous than Sylar. "Adam Monroe?" says Mohinder. Tobby confirms this. He goes on to say that Mohinder is valuable to The Company, not just because of his blood or his knowledge, but because of his high moral standards. Tobby wants him to continue to be the moral compass by which The Company navigates; he wants Mohinder to keep them in line. Mohinder says that since Molly's sick, he can't very well leave, even though that's exactly what he was going to do not five minutes ago. Mohinder doesn't think he can trust Tobby, so Tobby offers to provide him with someone who can make sure there are no further misunderstandings. Dude. This wasn't a misunderstanding -- you ordered Mohinder to possibly kill an innocent girl. That's not a misunderstanding. That's a royal Mongolian clusterfuck.
